Passover dinner was fun.I ate matzoh ball soup and brisket.I’m sorry for the lame post but
after 6 hours of non-stop talking,eating and drinking I’m tapped out.
These folks always have lots to drink on hand,anyway and as you know on Passover you’re supposed to drink 4 glasses of wine.I didn’t quite get there myself because I think it’s polite to stop drinking when the desert is served and that happened way before I got to #4 glass o wine…
I was happy that the gathering was smaller than it was the last time we went to Ed&Barbara’s (our hosts) because I just don’t feel that comfortable and easy in a large group.
Barbara’s brisket gets better every time I eat it.
Even though I am Jewish I never went to any of these Jewish holiday celebration dinners before I met my boyfriend since my ma and pa were into a different religion when I was growing up.And my mother’s people are socialist liberal athiests.In fact ma has converted and I’m not supposed to say to what religion so I’m not going to.She lives in Utah so that’s a big hint :).
She called tonight to wish me a Happy Passover and was very pleased with herself for having attended a seder,herself which is probably not that easy to do in Kanab, Utah.
But she works for Best Friends Animal Sanctuary which attracts out of towners to work in that extremely small town(pop. less than 3,000) one of which was a “very Jewish” girl who invited ma to the seder.
My mom is cute when she gets into a new thing.Trained as an anthropologist, she finds people to be very interesting.
